 Tickled pink by Ousterhout
Ousterhout's introduction to computers came in the 1970's while he was an undergraduate at Yale.
In 1980, Ousterhout headed west to the University of California at Berkeley to join the computer science department as a junior professor, where, true to its reputation, Ousterhout was impressed by the friendly atmosphere.
Having spent almost the past two decades in Silicon Valley, Ousterhout is amazed at the current landscape of the computing industry.

 LJ Interviews John Ousterhout Linux Journal
John: I was an undergraduate at Yale University in the early 70s and got my Ph.D. in Computer Science from Carnegie Mellon University in 1980.
John: That ability wasn't the first thing on my mind when I was writing Tcl, but it turned out that in solving my problem, I had also built something that was very easy to use for developing general purpose GUIs.
John: Well, my take on this is that Linux may have started off with a community of gung-ho users who were attracted by the freeness of it.

 -II- What is Tcl? Tk? Extended Tcl? What is Tcl _not_?
Ousterhout [...] moved from Berkeley to Sun Microsystems, where his group [pursued] such projects as a commercial-quality Tk graphical interface designer, an on-the-fly Tcl compiler, and Macintosh and Microsoft Windows ports of Tk.
John has given me permission to include this quote: >From: John Ousterhout >Date: Thu, 14 Jan 1999 14:00:40 -0800 >My move from Sun to Scriptics will not change the open source nature of >Tcl and Tk.
John also has asked me to mention that information about what is new or changed in each release is now available on the WWW.

 Ousterhout's Dichotomy
Ousterhout's Dichotomy, proposed in the early 80's by John Ousterhout as a software development paradigm, asserts that the world of application development is divided into two languages: a compiled language focusing on disk access and efficiency such as C, and a higher-level, typeless or loosely-typed scripting language with a simple, basic syntax.
For this reason, Tcl is sometimes referred to as a "glue language," since it sticks lower-level components together with ease.
I didn't design Tcl for building huge programs with 10's or 100's of thousands of lines of Tcl, and I've been pretty surprised that people have used it for huge programs.

 Ousterhout's dichotomy: Information From Answers.com
While static-versus-dynamic typing, data structure complexity, and independent versus stand-alone might be said to be unrelated features, the usual critique of Ousterhout's dichotomy is of its distinction of compilation versus interpretation.
Neither semantics nor syntax depend on whether code is compiled into machine language, interpreted, tokenized, or byte-compiled at the start of each run, or any mixture of these.
Ousterhout's dichotomy is John Ousterhout's division of high-level languages into "system programming languages" and "scripting languages".

Although more detailed books like Welch's 'Practical Programming in Tcl and Tk' are very useful, Ousterhout's original book is still the best way to learn the language.
Written by the developer of Tcl and Tk, the text takes a no-nonsense approach to the language, describing the elements of Tcl and Tk in programming-reference-style detail.
Ousterhout's Tcl and the Tk Toolkit was one of the first books on Tcl (tool command language) and Tk (toolkit) and has become one of the classics in the field.
